The 820 visa is the first stage towards obtaining permanent residency through the subsequent 801 Partner Visa. Typically, after two years on the 820 visa, you are eligible to submit evidence of your ongoing relationship to transition to permanent residency.
The 820 Partner Visa typically takes 8 to 20 months to process, depending on the completeness of your application, quality of supporting documents, and the Department of Home Affairs’ workload. Well-prepared applications with strong, clear evidence of a genuine relationship are usually processed faster, while delays may occur if information is missing or further checks are needed. Providing thorough documentation and responding promptly to any requests can help minimise processing time.
Yes, you can work in Australia while waiting for your 820 visa approval once your bridging visa becomes active. Typically, the bridging visa associated with the 820 visa grants you full work rights, enabling you to seek and undertake employment without restrictions.
No, marriage is not a requirement for the 820 visa. De facto couples can apply, provided they have evidence showing at least 12 months of cohabitation. This includes demonstrating a committed and genuine relationship with substantial proof such as joint financial accounts, shared household responsibilities, and social recognition.
Processing times for the 820 visa generally range from 8 to 20 months. The actual timeframe can vary based on factors such as the completeness of your application, the volume of applications being processed by the Department of Home Affairs, and individual circumstances requiring additional assessment or verification.
Yes, you can travel overseas during the 820 visa processing period, but you will need to apply for and obtain a Bridging Visa B (BVB). The BVB permits you to leave and re-enter Australia while your substantive visa application is being processed. Migration Launchpad can assist you with obtaining this travel permission.
Absolutely. Same-sex couples are fully recognised and eligible to apply for the 820 partner visa in Australia. Applicants must provide substantial evidence of their genuine and ongoing relationship, similar to opposite-sex couples.
You will need comprehensive evidence to support your 820 visa application, demonstrating a genuine and ongoing relationship. Essential documentation includes evidence of joint financial arrangements (shared bank accounts, joint bills), household cohabitation (lease agreements, utility bills), social recognition (joint invitations, photographs with friends and family), and mutual commitment (future plans, statements from family and friends). Thorough and varied evidence strengthens your application.
